14 Month Old Frenchie Died Of Cancer

[Loki]

Hi I'm new here.

Unfortunately my beautiful 14 month old French Bulldog Loki died from cancer a few days ago.

Long story short.

Loki's health plummeted over his last week. He lost weight, was lethargic, no appetite, depressed, stopped drinking etc.

I took him to the vet, come to find out he has urinary cancer, he had a large tumor in his bladder, almost the entire bladder was filled with this massive tumor.

He was just trying to pee over and over nothing but a tiny dribble coming out. He was trying to pee out his tumor. Poor little guy

My vet wanted me to take him to a cancer specialist vet to confirm this was a tumor in the bladder. So I did, it was true, there was no surgery option. His whole bladder was filled with this tumor. The specialist gave no options euthanasia only, as he was suffering at this point.

So I went ahead and had my beautiful baby boy Loki euthanized.

He died 1 year and 6 days or 371 days after I bought him, in his 14th month of age.

Afterward I asked the vet at the cancer specialist what could have caused this and how I could avoid something like this from happening in the future.

The vets response was "it was congenital it was something he was born with"...

The breeder did make it right and offer me a replacement puppy free of charge.

I'll have my new puppy in about three months.

RIP Loki boy forever in my heart...

I am so sorry about your loss. He had a short life but I am sure you guys made everyday special for him for the time he was here.

I agree, out of good faith they shoudl give you another puppy.

I am willing to write to xxxxxx and we should all do it and demand from them to give you another puppy.



Writing to them directly would not matter. When you write it openly in public on social media so everyone can see what happened, they will feel more pressure.

Thank you!

Yes you have a very good idea about posting directly on their facebook.

I just sent them a email in witch I stated "I feel they owe me another puppy" waiting to hear back... I called them the other day they said the health guarantee doesn't cover cancer. But in this case I feel they should do the right thing.

If I don't hear back from them by tomorrow I will write to them on FB. And would appreciate if you did as well. But I'll give them 24 hours to respond first.

Thanks for your support!

Miss my Frenchie

The breeder made it right.

It wasn't their fault.

They offered me a replacement puppy free of charge.

I am so sorry to hear such sad news I cant imagine how you must be feeling. Such a beautiful dog and so young.
Stay strong x

I am so sorry for your loss! It must be heartbreaking! I've only had my Nellie for two months and I'll be devastated if she passed. Did your Loki have any other illnesses once you got him or was this the first time he had been seriously ill? I hope the breeder does the right thing and gives you another puppy eventhough it could never replace your Loki. This is something I fear everyday after I found out that the "breeder" my partner bought Nellie from is not a real breeder and she came to us very sick and is still struggling. Hope you find some solace and very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss!! I'm glad Loki had a great life with you even though it was too short. I'm very happy to hear they will give you a puppy free of charge. Good luck with your new puppy! Please post pics when you get him/her.

I know the word "replacement" sounds really bad in this case because no other dog will truly replace the baby you lost. But he will live forever in your heart. Once again i am so sorry and I share your pain.

I am also happy to hear that they changed their mind about it. I think facebook review post did help the situation for them to change their mind overnight.

 

[Loki]

Thank you all for your support!

Yes Loki was very heathy other than this. All of his siblings were and still are healthy. As are the parents. I do feel that the breeders are good people with happy healthy dogs. Loki was just a rare case. Yes he's going to be "replaced free of charge" that's an awful way to put it considering you can never replace a soul. He was so sweet. So happy. He loved all other people and animals he ever met, he just wanted to play with everyone. He was the best little guy I could ever ask for. We had a great time together.

Sorry about your loss. I was going to say I don't think the breeder is required to give you another puppy for free...... however it really does say a lot about them that they are willing to do so! Good luck in your search for a new baby. Again I am so sorry for your loss... I cant even imagine.

I am so sorry that Loki had to be euthanized. What a horrible diagnosis. I can't imagine! My heart is breaking for you.

Although they don't "cover cancer" I think it's extremely nice of them to give you another puppy. I think in the rare case that it was congenial and he was born with it helped fuel their decision... It was a difficult circumstance, so I'm glad they are nice enough to give you another puppy and try to help you out.

Sending my love.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine having to go through that with a young pup.

Your breeder is doing right by you. 3 months will go fast!

Each day it seems to be getting harder. These little bulls really grow on you. He was such a sweet little guy I miss him dearly. There is no way he will ever be "replaced". He was a special boy, just like all of yours I'm sure. I'm not really looking forward to another puppy experience, those first 6-8 are hard. Anyway hoping all of you are really loving your Frenchies, just love them a little bit extra because you never know how much more time you have together.

Oh, you poor dear; I am so very sorry. I cannot imagine. Loki was a honey bear. I'm glad that you will be getting a new baby to adore. He/she won't be Loki but they will bring just as much happiness with their own unique personality. Please keep us posted.

I'm late to this but I wanted to say I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I can tell by the photos that your frenchie had all the love in the world while he was with you though.
